Making Progress

So I've been off for the past couple of days and one of my goals was to work on clearing out my computer and bookshelf from the punkins room. I am happy to report that I have been successful and here's the pictures to prove it.

I'm leaving the couch in the room for now. I have read and heard that kids sometimes have some anxiety sleeping by themselves when they get home. It's a result of being in large rooms with so many other kids. So if I need to, I will sleep in there on the couch. I think it will be easier to transition myself out of their room instead of transitioning them out of mine.

The crib will go where the lamp is. I am borrowing Jacobs crib but he's not quite ready to get out of it.

The blue and white blanket was made by my friend Karen McCabe's mother. I went to a fundraiser that Karen had for her foundation the Five Project. It's an organization that helps families in China and the US who have children with Autism. The blanket was a raffle and I was so hoping to win it and I did. Perhaps it's a sign that the punkin is a boy.

The Painting was an auction item at the fundraiser. I thought it was a perfect picture for the Punkins Room. A little reminder that they had a first mom that loved them before they come home to me.


Well, that's all the news for now. I keep waiting for the day when I have BIG news to post.
